Yes, it is real the guy is going over to the body shop this weekend to see the engine. The deal that I worked out with the shop, if I could have got the car, I would have given him a completely rebuilt 512 block dated 69 427 with a 163 intake and 4346 carb. That he could put in his 1969 Camaro. You can see in one of the pictures of the motor his 69 Camaro he is restoring. I guess it would be up to the seller of the motor what it would take. He has had it for a real long time the motor and what would it cost him to replace it. The real value I guess is for the guy who owns the car if he wants the correct motor??? or if he is happy with his CE replacement. If he never sells the car who cares what he has in it. For me it would be having the correct motor maybe not in the car but on a stand in the garage...

that's exactly where I'm at, I feel fine with my original motor and trans (125,000 miles)on a stand in the garage. Much less to worry about when I take that rare cruise.

Joe, that's great. You obviously have better sources of info on the internet than I do. I knew his name and I knew that a year and a half ago he lived in Sugar Grove.....did a search on anywho.com and came up empty Glad you were able to contact him and also glad to hear he is at least coming over to look at the motor this weekend

Hey all, I am the owner of the LS6. I am planning on going to look at the motor today if possible. This is truly amazing that the original block to my car is only about 10 miles from my house!! I don't have any paperwork, which still bothers me, but I have known all along how rare this car is. The original owner is still in the next town over from me, and he put together a letter stating that he was the original owner, and that the factory engine was replaced at Fanning in Aurora. If I told you what my dad paid for this car, you would all hate me.

I remember riding in the car with my father when I was a kid, and I remeber him telling me time and time again that when I was off on my own, the car would be mine. My dad became ill in 1992, and I was given the title to the car shortly before he passed, thus the reason for the DADSLS6 plates. Here are a few pics, I hope they work!
